Lecture on the beaver
On the occasion of the traveling exhibition "Cultural History of the Beaver", which can be seen at the Riedmuseum in Ottersdorf from March 1 to April 19, Jana Niedermayer, the beaver advisor for the district of Rastatt, will be giving an informative talk on the largest rodent in Europe.
On the one hand, the talk will focus on the beaver's way of life, in particular its role as a master builder, but also its special adaptations in water and on land. On the other hand, the lecture deals with the centuries-long extinction and the recent return of the beaver to the Rastatt region.
The traveling exhibition of the BUND regional association Ostwürttemberg illuminates various cultural-historical aspects of the beaver in richly illustrated roll-ups. The animal master builder constructs impressive dams that shape entire landscapes. At the same time, it has had a special significance for humans for thousands of years - whether as a commodity, as an ingredient in medicine or as a special delicacy.
Duration: approx. 60 minutes. The lecture is free of charge and without registration.
